Descriptive statistical techniques were used to express the demographic characteristics of the participants, the averages and standard deviations of the scores they got from the scales and sub-factors.To test whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of two different groups, t-test for unrelated samples (Independent Samples t-Test), to test whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of more than two groups, one-factor analysis of variance for unrelated samples (One-Way) ANOVA) and the simple linear correlation (Pearson moment product correlation) test was used to test the amount and direction of the relationship between the two variables.
